I remember hearing last year that the only two players the Dogs refused to shop around (as they were trying desperately to get under the cap for this year) were Josh Jackson and RFM. I think they rate him very highly over there and I'd expect him to snag a starting spot soon, even if he's not starting come round 1.

I think they leave RFM on the bench to develop his game slowly and I think Tolman might move to lock as a straight swap with Klemmer.

just a tip for team setting - if you run these guys youll need to start Lodge and have NAS on the bench as he has dpp, currently if a 2ndrower pulled out you would be replacing him with whatever 2ndrow is in your 18-21(if you have one) but if NAS was on the bench you would essentially be replacing your 2nd rower with no1 emergency(whoever you have selected at 18). This could make no difference or a massive difference depending on those players in 18-21

Shandon makes a very good point re make sure you have your dpp's on the bench as they cover 2 positions.Also on Smith if this is indeed true & he's going through a marriage breakup/kids invloved/media scrutiny & backlash then he could be very emotionally drained & not totally focussed. I might very well not start with him.

In theory maybe. But you are clearly missing the very real and practical issue that Lodge is a straightup Shitcunt(TM) and he doesn't deserve to make the run-on side with my illustrious fantasy squad. Sometimes you just gotta draw a line in the sand...

I can access the games, but I can't access this forum anymore. The irony is I can access:

If enough people refuse to pick Lodge in their fantasy team, do you think Bennett will cave to the pressure and cut him from the Broncos.

Broncos have posted their first trial team, it's probably not worth putting here, seems Bennett has tried to actively avoid naming anyone who needs 2 hands to count up their first-grade experience, but i'll throw it up anyway in case some-one finds an angle to look at it that reveals something i'm not seeing:
